I'm not sure whether this is a good idea. The temporary directory may be (and often is) world-writable, and on multi-user machines, this increases the risk of vulnerability. For instance, some programs may consider configuration files in the current working directory, and/or may write/re-read files there. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
